AE stock enjoys boost from analyst rating

FORT COLLINS – Advanced Energy Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) experienced a 6 percent surge in its stock early today, following an analyst upgrade.

Goldman Sachs upgraded AE to “in-line” from “underperform.”  AE received its underperform rating from Goldman in November 2004 — a downgrade from its previous in-line rating. 

Analyst expectations have been mixed for the Fort Collins-based semiconductor component company.  In February, Citigroup downgraded from buy to hold.  But ten days prior to that, Needham & Co. upgraded AEIS from hold to buy.

AE stock ended the trading day at $14.86, up 73 cents, or 5.17 percent.
